McDonald’s ‘Lincoln Fry’ Promo Includes Fake Blog

Far too busy to visit every detail of last nights Super Bowl extravaganza, Strategic Public Relations points out the McDonald’s Lincoln Fry promotion, along with it’s odd website detailing a couple’s experiences after finding a French fry that has the profile of Abe Lincoln, also has a weblog as a component. But after spending a few minutes with the blog, it’s clear it’s fake. Just another manufactured part of a campaign. We can’t understand why marketers feel the need to do this.
